BECKETT POINT SEPTIC SYSTEM PROJECT: The PUD and the Beckett Point community have been working together to put in a community sewer system so that people don’t have to rely on their septic tanks which could add to the pollution of Discovery Bay. Human bones were discovered during excavation for the project on May 29 and the State was called because the location has been identified as a native village site. Representatives from the State, the Tribes, the PUD and the County met to discuss the next steps in the process and possible options to keep the project going. A special meeting to continue these discussions is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, June 14 at 3 p.m. at the Courthouse.
